It’s always a risk when you care for a child with special needs to plan anything but I did manage to have a one day exhibition with fellow artist and friend Rob Braybrooke at Stithians show in Cornwall and the weather was great.
But also manged to get a few paintings to the national wildlife exhibition and selected for the British wildlife in art awards with my dartboard painting of Fallow deer at Yarner woods

This site first field guide I have ever painted and came about by being approach by Robert Gallardo a guide and bird expert living in Honduras in central America. He need help to finish off his self funded guide as things had started to slow down. Although I have travelled in central American Honduras was a country I wanted to visit but time never allowed so research was imperative. My first task was Flycatchers 4 pages of them.
The deadlines are very tight and sods law my son Thomas was taken in to hospital and 2 weeks later rushed in to theatre for emergency bowel surgery. Things we’re critical and still in recovery. I set up a portable studio and used my hospital bed room to paint, not for the first time. This must be a first that a field guide has been created on a hospital.
One more to go then on to Woodcreepers
